The Lament of Tou-Ehr, for Suona, Timpani, Percussion, and Chorus
This work was composed for a Chinese dance drama Snow Festival. The drama was based on an extremely touching story about a lady named Doue E, and was written by the author Guan Hanqing during the Yuan Dynasty. It is divided into three sections in a cyclic form, with one theme. The instrumentation includes voices for male and female, suona (Chinese cornet), there are more than ten traditional Chinese percussions are used, such as the wind gong, large and small luo (as used in Beijing opera), and the Chinese clapper, Paiban. The sound of suona indicates the lady Dou E with her battle cry and strong faith. The music begins after lady Dou E’s faint narrative.
※The Lament of Tou-Ehr was commissioned by the Neo Classical Music Group. The dance was arranged by Fon-xuei Liu, with orchestra and chorus conducted by the composer, Shui-long Ma himself. It was recorded by the Yun-de Company, and premiered at the Taiwan National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in April 1981.
《竇娥冤》
本曲改編自「舞劇雪祭」，取材自中國元代戲曲中關漢卿的作品-「感天動地竇娥冤」。
本曲略分三段，連樂章形式，樂曲結構為一貫性的主題延展。作曲者在編制上使用人聲(男女混聲)、嗩吶，以及十多件傳統擊樂器，如風鑼、平劇大小鑼、拍板等等。在整曲進行中，凡是有竇娥出現之處，嗩吶也將隨之奏出，那是天理的吶喊、精神信念之所在。全曲在一段竇娥幽幽的道白之後，徐徐展開。
※本曲為新古典樂團委託創作之作品，由舞蹈家劉鳳學編舞、馬水龍指揮樂團與人聲、韻德錄音公司錄音，於1980年4月在台北國父紀念館舉行世界首演。 .
